Difficult

The boy who herds cattle is surnamed Ma, and everyone calls him Xiaoma. Xiaoma just came back from herding cattle on the mountain. He stepped on the mud and was standing on the side of the road to wash his feet. Tang Jielin helped him fetch a basin of water. Just said a few words.

Xiao Ma is only 14 years old this year. He went to school late in the mountains. He just entered junior high school. He only had time to herd cattle for his family during the summer vacation.

Probably seeing that Tang Jielin was a kind person, the always shy pony had no life, Tang Jielin asked something and he answered, a little blush appeared on his tanned cheeks.

"I just came to your place, and I haven't been to many places in the town." Tang Jielin spoke in a calm and deep voice, not aggressive.

When Xiao Ma saw Tang Jielin speak Mandarin, he also forced himself to speak Mandarin, "There is only one street in the town, so it's easy to find. If you don't know the way, you can ask me next time."

"Okay." Tang Jielin smiled, "Are you doing anything else besides herding cattle?"

Xiao Ma blinked his eyes, and he didn't answer the question, "You are road builders, I know, I went to your construction site to see that excavator."

Excavators are inexplicably attractive to men. No matter what age men see them, they can't help but stop and take a few more glances.

Tang Jielin asked, "Do you want to open?"

"My dad said that I would quit this year after finishing my studies, and asked me to go to work in the city."

Xiao Ma's family conditions are not good. There are five brothers and sisters in the family. The family's source of income is not only the parents' farming, but also the wages of the elder brother's part-time job.

Tang Jielin understood Xiao Ma's meaning, he had no books to read, and no chance to learn how to drive an excavator.

"Very majestic." When Xiao Ma said this, he subconsciously looked towards the second floor. Tang Jielin followed Xiao Ma's line of sight and looked up, just in time to meet Ye Zhen who was standing there in a daze.

Ye Zhen didn't expect that the two of them would raise their heads and blamed Tang Jielin's affairs so that he couldn't face Tang Jielin with confidence, but Tang Jielin was gay, and Ye Zhen couldn't pretend that he didn't know about it. Knowing what kind of expression to use to look at Tang Jielin, in the end his gaze moved away a little erratically, pretending not to see it.

When he arrived at Tang Jielin's place, he felt that Second Young Master Ye was a bit arrogant and refused to look at him directly. He was used to getting along these days, so he turned his head and patted Xiao Ma on the shoulder, comforting him: "There will be a chance."

Ye Zhen stood there for a while, feeling bored, turned around and wanted to go back to the room, but the window of brother-in-law's sister-in-law suddenly darkened, and his elder brother's voice came from inside, "Is there a power outage?"

Power outages are common in the mountains. If you don’t know when it will stop, you don’t know how long it will last.

As soon as the words were finished, Ye Mian came out of the room with a bucket in hand, just in time to meet Ye Zhen face to face.

Ye Zhen asked casually, "Is there a power outage?"

"Well, I don't know when I will be able to come. Maybe I will stop overnight. Before it is completely dark, I will boil two pots of hot water for your sister-in-law to take a bath."

It is inconvenient to take a bath here, Ye Mian specially prepared a big bathtub for Fan Zi, which can be used in the room.

Originally, Ye Zhen didn't take the power outage seriously, but when he heard that it was going to be shut down overnight, he couldn't calm down and followed his elder brother downstairs.

"What are you doing here?"

"I also boil a pot of water for a bath." If he stays overnight and waits until it gets dark, how dare he go down to the first floor to boil hot water by himself?In the current weather, it is impossible to sleep at night without taking a shower, not to mention that the air conditioner is not even turned on.

Ye Mian waved his hand, "Can't you come later? You have to join me in the fun. Besides, it's not dark yet. If you stand outside to take a shower, people coming and going can see it. Aren't you a hooligan?"

"How do you know I'm taking a shower outside?" Ye Zhen was shocked.

Ye Mian's gaze seemed to be looking at a fool, "Where can I wash it if I don't wash it outside? I told Master Tang about the location, and he told you too, right?"

It turned out that it wasn't that homosexual's special hobby.

"Don't stand in the way here." Ye Mian became a little impatient, he glanced at Ye Zhen, and asked in a teasing tone, "You're so old, aren't you still afraid of the dark?"

After all, when Ye Zhen was 15 years old, he watched a short horror movie with his classmates, and had a record of not daring to close his eyes for a whole night.

Ye Zhen obviously couldn't stand his elder brother's aggressive tactics, "Who said that? I'm just too tired, I want to finish washing early and rest early."

Ye Mian didn't care whether he was really not afraid or pretended not to be, "Then you have to wait a bit, you can't compete with your sister-in-law, right?"

Even his sister-in-law moved out, Ye Zhen had no excuses, so he could only wait aside.

But the speed of darkness is much faster than he imagined. The mountain with no lights at all, after the power outage, there is almost no light. Soon, the kitchen with poor lighting is completely dark, just a burning stove There is also a little light source on it.

Seeing Ye Mian pour hot water slowly, Ye Zhen couldn't help urging, "Hurry up."

When Ye Mian went upstairs with the bucket, Ye Zhen panicked even more, "You just left?"

Ye Mian ignored him, waved his hand, and the blurred figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

There was silence in the kitchen, the flame on the stove was still shaking, some flying insects and mayflies rushed towards the light source recklessly, and were burned cracklingly.

"Why are there so many bugs..." Ye Zhen muttered softly, just as he was about to take out the light of his phone, there was a "squeak" from behind, a gust of wind blew, and the shadow reflected on the wall swayed, Ye Zhen was frightened Called out, "Fuck!"

Tang Jielin was shocked by the angry words in Ye Zhen's voice, and he hesitated for a moment before closing the door, "Scared you?"

Hearing Tang Jielin's voice, Ye Zhen twisted his face and turned around, "What are you pretending to do!"

I just opened a door, who knew Ye Zhen could be so scared.

Tang Jielin looked at which pot was not open and lifted which pot, and asked with concern: "Are you afraid of the dark?"

"You fart, who is afraid of the dark." How could Ye Zhen admit that he could make Tang Jielin see a joke? "If it's you, won't you be shocked? People who scare people will scare people to death!"

Tang Jielin did not expose Ye Zhen's bravado. He had two candles in his hand, which were given to him by the pony just now. He lit one and put it on the stove, and changed the topic calmly, "Too many insects may be It's going to rain soon."

There was a "boom", and it was just a coincidence that the thunder came.

Ye Zhen looked at Tang Jielin in surprise, "You opened your mouth, didn't you?"

Tang Jielin pursed his lips, didn't speak, and was about to go upstairs when Ye Zhen rushed up to him and blocked his way.

"What... what?"

Ye Zhen was a little taller than himself, Tang Jielin almost stopped the car, and tapped the tip of Ye Zhen's nose, Ye Zhen seemed to be very excited, and his hot and humid breath swept Tang Jielin's face.

"Don't go yet!" Seeing that Tang Jielin hadn't left, Ye Zhen rushed to the stove, put a pot of water on it and boiled it, and kept chanting, "Don't go, wait a minute, wait a minute .”

If it were someone else, who usually gave himself so much embarrassment, and had such a tough attitude when asking for help, he would have turned against Ye Zhen long ago, that is, Tang Jielin would not care about him, even in order to protect the poor self-esteem of the little boy , without saying a word to embarrass Ye Zhen, sighed, and sat on the small stool next to him.

Judging from this posture, Tang Jielin planned to stay in the kitchen with him. Ye Zhen was very contradictory. He tried to be brave to save face, but at this time, he had the cheek to accept Tang Jielin's company.

After the explosion of thunder, the rain did not fall immediately, and the kitchen was very quiet. Tang Jielin never talked much, and Ye Zhen was able to calm down abnormally, all because of fear.

After the water in the pot was boiled, Ye Zhen quickly rushed upstairs to get his toiletries and a change of clothes. After mixing the water, he walked up the corner of the corridor with the basin in his hand.

Tang Jielin followed behind him, watching him open the door and walk out, thinking that he could get out of the way, Ye Zhen spoke again.

"No, still no, you can't go."

Afraid of becoming like this, he still refuses to admit it. It is rare to be so hard-spoken.

Tang Jielin said, "Don't you usually wash outside alone?"

Can that be the same?There was no power outage or thunder at that time.

Ye Zhen was anxious and annoyed, "No, it's different!"

Tang Jielin said helplessly, "Aren't you afraid that I'm gay now?"

Ye Zhen didn't have time to spend time with him, so he closed the door and shouted at the top of his voice, "You wait for me inside!"

Through the door, the voice was weakened a lot, Tang Jielin didn't know whether to laugh or get angry, why is this child so difficult.

Ye Zhen took off his clothes and didn't hear Tang Jielin's voice for a long time. When he thought about his bad attitude towards Tang Jielin, he might take revenge on him now.

He opened the wooden door, covered his chest, and leaned halfway in. Seeing Tang Jielin leaning against the wall and not leaving, "Why are you silent? I thought you were leaving!"

"Hurry up and wash it." Tang Jie felt a headache.

Ye Zhen shrank back to the door and ordered loudly: "Speak, don't stop talking!"

Tang Jielin sighed, "I didn't leave, if you're afraid, just tell me, why don't you admit it?"

"I'm not afraid!" Ye Zhen retorted while quickly applying body wash to himself.

"Then why are you stopping me from letting me go?" Tang Jielin doesn't hold grudges, but Ye Zhen is too stubborn, and it is rare for him to take advantage of others' danger, "You keep saying that I am gay, then you take a bath Would you like me to guard the gate for you?"

This is simply a shame and humiliation. When did Ye Zhen suffer such grievances? He held his breath, washed it off as fast as he could, and put on his clothes.

Pulling open the door, he instantly found Tang Jielin's blurred figure in the darkness, and pressed it against the wall. A stream of heat lingered in his body just after taking a bath. Ye Zhen didn't know whether it was from fear or anger, His breathing also became short of breath, and he threatened viciously: "If a third person finds out what happened tonight, you will die!"
